“Everyone must correct his own self; this is something more difficult to cope with, but it is not impossible.”

I’d got very successful, everyone knew who I was, but I felt very empty.

It is true, there are many bad people; there are more of them than in the past, but that is because there are more people, meaning the population has tripled; there must be three times more bad people.

In Thailand’s history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed.

I can play the game only one way. I must play every shot for all there is in it. I cannot play safe.

I always designed my practice plans the night before and then made tweaks a few hours before practice began

All around the world, people believe that there is a great conflict between good and evil. Well, it’s true that there’s a conflict, but it only exists in the human mind.

Many other countries in this world are in a difficult situation, and all the Thai people are probably worried about the fate of Thailand: whether the country would survive or not.

The important thing for the survival of the Thai society is that the majority of those who work, both in the government and the private sector, still strive to work in the same direction; this is why the Thai nation still stands.

A good person can make another person good; it means that goodness will elicit goodness in the society; other persons will also be good.

It could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.

For a justice of this ultimate tribunal [the U.S. Supreme Court], the opportunity for self-discovery and the occasion for self-revelation is great.

I used to be someone who would not even tread on an ant. But this is a war for honor and self-defense.

Manipulated by fashion, self-serving art scholars and the vagaries of the auction block.

When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things.

Do not become the candle that gives light to others but itself remains in darkness.

To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish.

The pure heart is one that is entirely cut away from self. To be selfless is to be pure.

What I would like you always to do is what I try humbly to do myself, that is, never to say or to do anything which would wound the feelings or the self-respect of any human being
